Activision Value Wants You to Join the ``Revolution'' and Preserve the Human Race; New First-Person Action Adventure Game is Currently Available at Retail

In the not so distant future, technology is omnipresent and genetically engineered clones are overtaking the human race. In order to save mankind, gamers must join a resistance movement and test their fighting and strategy skills in "Revolution," a new PC game from Activision Value, a division of Activision Publishing, Inc. (Nasdaq:ATVI). "Revolution" is rated "M" (Mature) by the ESRB, and is now currently available at retail stores nationwide for the suggested retail price of $29.99.

"`Revolution' immerses players into a fast-paced world of action and suspense where they must use their critical thinking and instincts to survive," said Patrick Kelly, Vice President of Studios, Activision Value Publishing. "As the story unfolds, players will discover the universe step by step, solving puzzles and completing tasks."

A fast-paced first-person action adventure, "Revolution" sets players in a futuristic megalopolis and challenges them to master tactics, plan escape routes, customize weapons, and adjust to ever changing environments. Players begin their career as maintenance workers for a large corporation, which unbeknownst to them is using technology to extinguish the human race. Gamers are recruited by an underground movement called "the Resistance" and asked to take up arms against their employer. While fighting against the morally corrupt corporation, players must question the ethics of cloning and genetic engineering.

"Revolution" features interactive environments, customizable weapons, and incredibly detailed human and bionic characters. The game challenges players to test their fighting and strategy skills in more than 20 single player levels, as well as four multiplayer modes that can be played over a LAN modem or the Internet. "Revolution's" multiplayer modes enlist gamers to hone their tactical skills in a series of combat scenarios including Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, and Most Wanted.
